I'm a classical musician and a vegetarian. I eat mostly a plant-based diet and love finding new vegan & raw recipes to try. Blogging is a new passion of mine and I try to post as often as I can (between rehearsals and concerts) Eat smart!

Throw the 1st 5 sauce ingredients into a food processor (the original recipe uses a blender, but I don't have one) and process until creamy and thick. Boil pasta. While pasta is cooking, put sauce into a pan and heat. Add salt, pepper and garlic to taste. Add the wine. Simmer. When past is cooked, drain it and add it to the pan with the sauce. Toss and add fresh basil. Yay, done!

It was really good. I'm not sure if it would've been even creamier using a blender??? I've never used cashews in cooking before...gives it a nice texture and flavor. I left out the oil from the original recipe (trying to follow McDougall's no oil rule when I can). Of course he doesn't like nuts either....oh well.

Anyway, this was a great recipe for an easy quick dinner after work, so you should try it.
